Quantum Stuff
Okay so this is really a simple concept, I am just going to be talking on how to classify a single electron in a atom, and then take this weird set of numbers to figure out what atom it is. It a four digit code where the first digit means the period that the atom is in. The next means the sub level, which is the orbital type, 0=S, 1=P, 2=D, and 3=F. Next is the Magnetic Quantum Number, which depending on the orbital, could be only a single digit, or seven different ones, If you make a dash for each electron grouping in the atom, and then label them from the starting at the middle with 0, and going in either direction a positive or negative 1, then again till you have filled all the dashes, then use the rules of electron placement to fill them in until you have used all the electrons that the configuration gave you, then you say which number it is. Finally is the spin, if there is two electrons in the last dash you filled it is a -1/2 spin, and +1/2 spin if there is only one. Ta-Da, that's how you do it. HERE is a video going more in depth on them to help
